"Death Trails the Lady!" in Best of the West #10 (1953) delivers a classic Western mystery with a supernatural twist, as the Ghost Rider confronts a legend made flesh—Longhair John, a killer whose ghostly return stirs fear across the frontier. Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Dick Ayers, with inks by Ernie Bache and lettering by Ayers, the story pits the Rider’s resolve against a haunting legend, testing whether he’s a man or a myth. The cover, a collaborative effort by Fred Meagher, Dick Ayers, Fred Guardineer, and Frank Bolle, captures the eerie tension of a man haunted by his past.
